Business training modules

Our commitment to driving the automotive seating forward begins with our commitment to diverse supplier connections. Your success begets growth and prosperity throughout the industry. That's why we regularly conduct training seminars to prepare our current suppliers - and businesses working toward an Adient partnership - for a partnership with Adient.

Through our supplier business modules, business owners learn how to enhance their relationships with industry leaders through education, training and networking opportunities. And minority, women-, and veteran-owned businesses benefit from mentorship opportunities with dedicated corporate leaders.

Our 18- to 24-month curriculum includes:

Self-assessment based on the Dartmouth Tuck Executive Education – Building a High Performing Minority Business.

1:1 commodity manager meetings conducted by a corporate member. Feedback on capability gaps and priorities for development (via neutral party).

Small Group Roundtables that combine peer-to-peer best practice sharing, external training/resources, and in-session training. Topics are based on the greatest common areas of need per initial self-assessment.

On October 31, 2016, Adient plc (“Adient”) completed its separation from Johnson Controls International plc (“Johnson Controls”) and is now an independent, publicly traded company. Adient, and not Johnson Controls, is responsible for the operation of the Adient business, including this website.
